🖋️ May Currently Inked | Fountain Pen Ink Swatches + Writing Samples

[@craft-o-matic399]

These are some true beauties! I love ink swatching videos! Inks are my weakness! I don't need many fountain pens, but it's tough to restrain myself when it comes to ink. I really appreciate the swatching videos! They help me make informed decisions about what inks to purchase. Thank you so much! Lisa

[@lianelikes]

Thanks, Lisa!

Great lineup of pens and inks! This was such a beautiful color palette. Thanks for showing such a clear view of your swatches. I’m a bit late in watching this video; I’m trying to get caught up on all sorts of KZbin videos. 😅 I’ve been curious about Diamine Oxblood; it looks so gorgeous here.

[@lianelikes]

Thanks, Kristen! Wait, you haven’t tried oxblood yet??!?

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

@@lianelikes LOL it’s hard to believe. I’m way behind on using the most popular inks. I’m just trying out JH Emerald of Chivor and Iroshizuku inks this year I think 😅

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

@@lianelikes Update: I just tried it last night LOL! I received a bottle of Oxblood from a good friend, and it looks just as beautiful in person as it does in your video!

[@LittleCocoStudio]

Your currently inked this month so so calming ☺️ I picked up a sample of Yama Guri recently and am excited to try it this month!

[@lianelikes]

I hope you enjoy Yama-guri!

[@marisalosardo3480]

This is the perfect Autumn color line up. All the colors are gorgeous!

[@AmberUnfinished]

Love all these inks. But that honey color is so nice! I’d love to see a comparison video with it and others in that same golden family.

[@lianelikes]

Yes, will do!

[@Wholelatteplans]

They are all so beautiful individually and together!! I’ve been waiting for this video since your ig post lol!! I agree please do a comparison with nostalgic honey and any other similar colors, this is one of my favorite color families ❤

[@lianelikes]

Will do!

[@AndrewWertheimer]

Lovely inks this month. Nice lettering too. Agree the Journaler nib is a pleasure to use.

[@tattooedcat]

Liane, you always speak to my heart with your color range! This color palette works all year round! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

[@lianelikes]

Casey, I love these inks so much! The feeling is mutual! I’m still thinking about Fireside snug at the pen meetup!

[@tattooedcat]

@@lianelikes Yes! It’s so good! It’s quickly becoming a favorite of mine, and I think it will be my first full-size bottle of a Diamine Inkvent ink. If you don’t get a chance to try it sooner, I’ll definitely have to share that one. 🤘🏼😸

[@NoDecaf7]

This is a beautiful color palette

[@snarkywordsworth]

Ooooo. I definitely need to pick up that Wearingeul Othello. Gorgeous lineup all the way around, but that Othello is especially stunning! 😍😍😍

[@lianelikes]

It really is!

[@Adventuresover40]

I definitely want to try the journaler nib. The Taccia Benitsuchi just went on my wish list.. beautiful color choices. I also have Nostalgic honey inked this month. Brilliant brown has been on my list also.

[@lianelikes]

You have nostalgic honey inked up this month, too? With which pen and what do you think?

[@Adventuresover40]

@@lianelikes I inked it in my Sailor Profit in Ivory. It has a medium nib. I am loving this color. It flows really good in this pen.

[@ChantelleArts]

these are so good, what an aesthetic video ☺☺

[@lianelikes]

Thank you so much!!

[@craft-o-matic399]

@Liane Likes I think I stirred the pot regarding culling one's collection to10 pens. My pens are for very personal use, so I don't need many, and I don't have the budget for a large collection. I stated my opinion, which is always quite frank, and upset some people.I assure you, no one should have been offended or felt like they were being judged. Just my frankness, and I don't pull any punches if I think it's important. This is an acquired taste for some, perhaps many... Thank you Liane for your excellent content. As you know, I love swatching videos and I think yours are excellent! Very helpful and great ink eye candy for me! Lisa

[@lianelikes]

I appreciate the comment, Lisa. No offense taken, though I appreciate you following up with context. I'm glad you enjoy my videos!

[@TheFieldhockeygk11]

Esterbrook esties are the best with shimmer inks!

[@writewithdaya]

Love all the inks choice ❤❤

[@KenchanKrafts]

Oh boy, Liane xD now you know how I feel about shimmers in TWSBIs! XD Well, at least, my Diamond Twsbis have been crappy with shimmers. My ECO Medium seems to have done pretty well with the shimmers I've put in them so far, but that's not a lot to begin with. I think Esterbrooks and Leonardos do so well with shimmers, they are so great! :D I really love Nostalgic Honey. I may have to get a bottle of that now!

[@lianelikes]

Yeah, the TWSBI's have been unreliable with shimmers. I can't go back, I love my Esterbrook with shimmer!!!

[@shaigluskin1225]

Great video. I think the Wearingeul Othello might actually be cool. I think (I don't own it, just looking at pics) it has some blue undertones which would pull it toward cool. I so much appreciate the vibe of your vids. Thank you.

[@shaigluskin1225]

Urrr, in other pics the undertone seems to be lavender, which is generally considered cool as well, but...??? I love how greys can be so mysterious and complex.

[@lianelikes]

Thanks for the feedback, I will have to do some research to really know if inks lean more warm/cool. You are likely right!

[@disisd]

Same problems here with my TWSBI getting clogged with shimmer inks :/ I don’t have the stub nibs - but use broad nibs for the TWSBI. The particles clog the feed too.

[@lianelikes]

I've tried TWSBI broads too, didn't really like that experience, either.

[@debpaynepurnell6131]

I prefer my lamy pens with EF nibs.

[@lianelikes]

Yes!

[@daniurka16]

Hi love your videos may I ask where’s the pen tray from the one with the samples?

[@lianelikes]

Yes! It’s made by @fountainpendulum check them out!

[@daniurka16]

@@lianelikes oh thank you I’ll check them out!

[@brittanyfreeman9101]

So strange! I picked up the Pelican Brilliant Brown and it is orange with no hint of brown. I was hoping for the color you have.

[@lianelikes]

You may need to try it in an assortment of pens, hopefully you will find a combo that reveals some of the brown, too! But it is definitely an orange-y brown.
